Blue Jackets forward Mathieu Olivier was challenged twice to fights after his hit injured Flames defenseman Joel Hanley.

There’s a quiet belief that this team belongs, that it has a collection of players that can stick in this race for the long haul. It’s not boastful, but the Blue Jackets have set a goal and they’re doing what they can to get there.

Adam Fantilli scored twice and the Columbus Blue Jackets extended their points streak to five games with a 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames in a chippy game Friday that included six fighting majors.
